Church of St. Nicholas (
Serbian Cyrillic : Црква светог Николе ,
Croatian : Crkva svetog Nikole ) in
Mikluševci is
Serbian Orthodox church in eastern
Croatia . The church was constructed in period between 1758 and 1766 at the site of an earlier wooden Orthodox church which in 1756 served 31 Orthodox household in the village.
[2] This wooden church was dedicated to St. Nicholas as well.
[1] From the 19th century onward the village was settled by
Greek Catholic
Pannonian Rusyns settlers from
Carpathian Ruthenia which changed religious structure of the settlement.
[2] In 1880 out of 712 inhabitants 467 were
Greek Catholic , 227
Eastern Orthodox , 11
Roman Catholic and 7
Jewish .
[2] Parrish Hall of the Church of St. Nicholas was destroyed two times in history, once during the
World War II and in 1991 again during the
Croatian War of Independence .
[1]
Iconostasis , which is the main property of the Church of St. Nicholas, is since Croatian War of Independence kept and under restoration of
Matica srpska in
Novi Sad .
[1] Today the village of Mikluševci are not an independent Serbian Orthodox parish but are part of the
Sotin parish.

Iconostasis
The
iconostasis in the Church of St. Nicholas was painted by
Serb
Baroque painter
Lazar Serdanović in style of
Teodor Kračun .
[4] Serdanović independently painted two iconostaisises in the
Syrmia region with another one being the one in the
Church of the Dormition of the Theotokos in nearby
Negoslavci which was done earlier than Mikluševci's one but both at unknown time.
[4] He was also assistant during the iconostasis painting in the
Church of St. Nicholas (1772-1776) in
Vukovar .
[4] Iconostasis of the church is divided into five areas which together contain 66
icons which were inspired by
chalcography from Biblia Ectypa (Pictorial Bible).
[4] During the Croatian War of Independence iconostasis was dismantled and taken to the
Patriarch's Court in Sremski Karlovci where it awaited urgent
conservation and restoration due to its deteriorated state.
